Greenland independence movement

The Greenland independence movement seeks to make Greenland fully autonomous or independent from Denmark, which currently maintains control over its foreign affairs and defense. Greenland, a large island in the Arctic, has been gradually increasing its self-governance, especially since establishing home rule in 1979 and increased autonomy in 2009. Many residents and politicians are interested in independence due to Greenland's rich natural resources, potential for economic growth, and a desire to preserve local culture and identity. However, challenges include dependence on Danish financial support, infrastructure development needs, and global economic and environmental factors that influence the feasibility of full independence.
